A comic titled 'PARENTING TIPS' with the subtitle 'PUNISH MISBEHAVIOR • REWARD OBEDIENCE.' A brown-haired boy and a red-haired girl stand together facing their father. The boy says, 'Dad! Susie killed my hamster.' The girl (Susie) says, 'Done!' The father replies, 'Susie, I want you to feel shame,' then immediately holds out money saying, 'Here's $50 my little angel' — rewarding the misbehaving child instead of punishing her. Votey aftercomic: a child asks the father, 'Can I have $50?' and the father answers, 'Why? You didn't do anything wrong,' implying only bad behavior gets rewarded.
